I am setting up a HyperCard stack to contain my favorite database: my
record collection. I want to set up different find buttons for finding
composer, finding title, etc. I want the script for each button to bring up
the message window with:
find "" in field "composer"
or find "" in field "title"
where the cursor is in between the first double-quotes.
Seems to me that I want to use "put into message" or some variation. Is
this correct?
Problem 1) How do I "put" a double-quote?
Problem 2) How do I position the cursor?
Thanks.
Brian
